Hampers

Students in English Schools across Quebec City are pitching in to raise money for the Community Christmas Hamper Campaign. The Turkey Can challenge has raised thousands of dollars for people in need over the years. This year, CBC Quebec is sweetening the pot by offering a prize to the classroom that raises the most money.  Ainslie MacLellan joined Jacquie in studio with the details.
